# Liverpool: Fans erupt as club confirm new Fabinho deal

**Flocking to Twitter, many Liverpool fans have erupted as the club confirmed they have tied down midfield star Fabinho with a bumper new long-term contract ([liverpoolfc.com](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/439722-fabinho-signs-new-long-term-contract-with-liverpool-fc)).**

The Brazilian, nicknamed the team’s ‘[lighthouse](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/439722-fabinho-signs-new-long-term-contract-with-liverpool-fc)‘ by assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders, had been the subject of rumours [linking him with an extension at Anfield](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/dec/07/liverpool-fabinho-new-contract).

Fabinho was one of many first team players [touted with a new deal](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/salah-edwards-contract-liverpool-news-21203960), coming after the club also recently confirmed a fresh contract for [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alexander-arnold-contract-liverpool-breaking-21189650). The 27-year-old now becomes Liverpool’s latest player to commit his future on Merseyside and reports suggest that the [Reds aren’t done there.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/salah-edwards-contract-liverpool-news-21203960)

Flocking to this announcement, it’s safe to say that plenty of supporters are buzzing, with many erupting over this news in response to Liverpool’s [official Twitter channel](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1422587093671419910).

Fabinho was forced to play in a makeshift central defensive role throughout 2020/21 to cope with Liverpool’s mounting injury issues but immediately dazzled again upon returning to midfield ([The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9348667/Liverpool-Michael-Owen-heaps-praise-Fabinho-following-stars-triumphant-return-midfield.html)).

It is little wonder that news of Liverpool securing a new deal for the enforcer had some fans hailing it as “more great news” following on from Alexander-Arnold’s renewed commitment. Check out some of the best verdicts from social media below.
